Absolute legends as was Allan Shepard before him.We use that word legends many times,but words cant describe these guys,Their missions never tried and tested apart from Yuri Gagarin just beating them,no fancy wiz bang computers,sitting in tight cramped sardine liked conditions,as were the mercury capsules.What a life to be celebrated.

“As I hurtled through space, one thought kept crossing my mind - every part of this rocket was supplied by the lowest bidder.” - John Glenn.

Talking about rockets being supplied buy the lowest bidder,spare a thought for this poor unfortunate cosmonaut,the late Vladimir Komorov,a real victim of Russian roulette from the space race
